1609 baby!

But what's the joke?

Yeah, I never get all these comments saying "if Lemmy wants to get big" it needs to do X (probably some Reddit feature), and " if Lemmy wants to succeed" if needs to do Y (some niche thing most people dont need).

Like, it's already successful doing exactly what it was intended for.

Possibly Lemmy is a lot of peoples first foray into FOSS software, and being the biggest and best, and profits go brrr isn't the aim.

Capitalism is a hell of a drug when it's all you've known.

This bill needs to be killed. It's just more surveillance wrapped in saving the kids.

I've had people say to me "But what if you're partner was attacked, you would be glad that CCTV/message snooping was there" when debating these topics.

I'm not going to lie, that's hard to argue against, I would if it helped catch them, but I'd rather it didn't happen in the first place. I don't know where I'm going with this...

It's 100% Letterbocks in Viz.

I've been saying this for months. He strikes me as not being in it for his party, his country nor his political legacy. He's doing everything for himself and his business connections.

Isn't that the problem being stated in the OP haha.

I'm generally against defederation as much as possible, but would personally prefer that the proper NSFW stuff wasn't on my feed.

It can be a bit jarring to be scrolling through content and there's suddenly an anus or something on my screen...

I don't think it's too much for people to have a separate account for porn and such if they want to see that, and it helps protect the feddit.uk instance from legal issues.

Hard agree on this. Especially if it leaves a community unmoderated, and unmoderatable due to the only mod being absent.

If you're creating a community, you should at least be attempting to run it. Not just making a land/power grab or putting your flag in the ground for the sake of it.

I'm glad you've raised this here, I was wondering whether to do something similar due to https://feddit.uk/post/114858

Why do we devs have this weird need to do our jobs in our free time. We put this weird career specific cultural pressure for some reason.

Do other careers have this need to do work in your free time? You don't see brick layers itching to work on building a little house on the side, or lawyers just looking for a case to practice on.

Why is it just devs?

Boo, one of my favs. Obligatory "fuck Nestle" though.

Yeah, it's really great. I'm a bit sad that UKCasual has ended up somewhere else though...

I should of just done it in the first place rather than moan about it haha!

Edit: Boom! https://feddit.uk/c/casualuk

Why do so many website fail at explaining what they represent. I didn't really get what this was because it focused on its technology, not what it was aiming to achieve.

I installed it anyway, as I'm looking into synced Notes apps and that's what it seemed to do and this thing is looking pretty powerful actually. It might replace more than just Notes.

Sounds like fun. We've been waiting far to long off Gary Chess to release Chess 2. Let's do it ourselves!

You're on a UK community here buddy. We had police before the USA was founded. Your link literally says USA policing was based on the british model.

Well done on taking the initiative guys! Sad that its come to this, but hopefully good comes out of this.

How's no one else kicking off about Jaffa Cakes being featured at the top of a biscuit tier list.

Me when I was told hummus is a condiment

I managed to push a razor blade (just a loose blade, not a razor head) into the side of my right index finger tip this morning while cleaning out my bathroom bin. I think the only thing that stopped it going further was my nail.

Safe to say, having a half functional index finger on my dominant hand is making everything hard work, but I only have my self to blame for putting it in there...
